The PLT consists of 4 case
histories, each with 3 short-answer questions. There are 24 discrete multiple
choice questions in two sections of 12 questions each.  Categories on the PLT:

The PLT will contain two types
of case histories -- document-based and narrative.

The constructed response
(short answer) items are often the most challenging sections on this exam. 
They are challenging because they require the candidate to read rather lengthy
cases quickly, synthesize and analyze information, and make evaluations and draw
conclusion on the material in the cases. It is not that they require lengthy
responses so much that they require concise, accurate, and substantive
responses.  Unfortunately, this sometimes goes against intuition as well as
training.

Before you Go...

1. Plan and organize your time and the materials
you will need to review for the test. Save your textbooks, notes, handouts, etc.
These are invaluable as you prepare for the exam.

2. Pace yourself during the test. You will write
several constructed responses to the cases; watch your time and pace yourself.
Read all instructions carefully to be sure you are doing the exam correctly. For
example, does it count against you if you guess. READ INSTRUCTIONS.

3. Be prepared! The PRAXIS II PLT is a professional licensing exam, not a
second-rate "teacher test."  Begin preparation early and approach the test with
a game plan!  ]]> HELP FOR
